Locked Out Florida

For four months, Grace and a team of seven journalists investigated what happens to felons in Florida after they leave prison.

They discovered that many of them struggle to find housing, get employed and earn back their vote. Grace focused on that third issue: voting rights.

Florida isone of four states that completely strips felons of their right to vote. In the state, 1.6 million felons cannot participate in elections. While the state debates the fate of felons’ voting rights, their investigation reveals the stories beyond the headlines.
